What are some of the common issues that SafeBack users encounter in processing computers for evidence?
• When using external SCSI drives, be sure to use the same ASPI-disk-driver software. For example, if you’re using an Adaptec 2940, you’ll have loaded ASPI8DOS.SYS and ASPIDISK.SYS to access an external drive. If you subsequently use the same drive with, say a H45 parallel-to-SCSI adapter, be sure to use Adaptec’s ASPIDISK.SYS instead of H45’s ASPIHDRM.SYS. It seems that ASPIDISK.SYS and ASPIHDRM.SYS organize a hard disk differently. • Long-format Iomega Jaz and Zip cartridges before use to avoid unexpected “General Failure” errors from DOS and SafeBack. • When backing up a physical drive, try to use BIOS access first. If drive-management software is present and will prevent you from accessing the entire hard disk, SafeBack will warn you. • Some non-Microsoft operating systems, such as Unix, may require that you boot your copy using the same type of hard disk controller. That is, if a specific SCSI controller was used on the original system, you may have to use that same type of SCSI c
